Audience Member By offering the Carandiru prisoners an opportunity of recording their own ugly reality, Sacramento creates an episodic mosaic that reveals quite a bit of those confined lives while also exposing their subhuman, insalubrious conditions in a place that really looks like hell in a big city.
